My favorite under-represented era is WWII. Ken Follet does amazing WWI-era suspence novels with strong heroines and a heavy dose of romance, but the romance genre seems to sidestep this fabulous part of history.Jen McQuistonhttp://www.jenmcquiston.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-15975587163481406392011-04-13T16:35:53.060-04:002011-04-13T16:35:53.060-04:00Margay and June M, you are the winners!

Your going to love Scotland when you visit (and the food is much better than in England - especially in the pubs). <br /><br />Scotland is a fascinating country and the people are really helpful and friendly. My husband and I had a wonderful vacation there. He is a stone mason and got a kick out of watching the tradesman working on Edinburgh Castle - carrying one block at a time! He said they would never make it as tradesmen in the USA (his help carries about 4 at a time - wonder if the pay scale is the same).<br /><br />I can't wait to read your book and I love the cover!Jeanne Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05111451097520221555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-15339903669622704422011-04-09T06:55:26.614-04:002011-04-09T06:55:26.614-04:00Your book sounds great and your cover is gorgeous!...Your book sounds great and your cover is gorgeous! I so much prefer these types of covers to the passionate embrace ones.<br />As far as what era is underrepresented... I don't really care for the Georgian era, so I don't think that counts. You don't see too much WWII now a days. I've enjoyed several stories set back then.LilMissMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847160970054624743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-83581494439252373852011-04-08T18:06:35.905-04:002011-04-08T18:06:35.905-04:00Thanks for putting me on wish lists!

Was that her only book?<br /><br />A couple of reviews said the hero was basically a stinker. Yes, that's what he's supposed to be! He is very rigid and thinks everything should be his way. His evolution was one of my favorite parts of the book. He's still an arrogant duke, but Eva, he learns to see things with a broader scope.<br /><br />I'm re-reading The Wolf and the Dove (Kathleen Woodiwiss). That's a medieval. It's interesting to see how novels have changed since 1974 (?)when she wrote the book. She put in so much detail that you feel like you're actually there.Cheryl Ann Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12102653337458361996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-85312286134236601312011-04-08T16:53:09.537-04:002011-04-08T16:53:09.537-04:00Congrats on your debut release, Cheryl.

Don't get me wrong, I love reading about Regency stories but I think it's nice to switch it up every once in a while and I've found I really like that period. <br /><br />I can't wait to read this book. I've had it on my wishlist for awhile now and I can't wait to get my copy. I love the premise of your book.

You...Hi, Cheryl, this sounds like a fabulous read. Your protagonist sounds like a heroine women's right advocate; would you agree? Great answers all around.<br /><br />I love historicals of every era and every region. I'm always saddened when someone says you can't write Egypt, or Japan, etc. etc. it has to be Regency England. There are so many great historical minds out there, and welcome them all.<br /><br />Just curious, have you ever read Taylor Caldwell. She's been dead many years now but she wrote a novel years ago who's storyline reminds me of yours, except her setting was ancient Greece.

I hope it's been awesome, my friend :)<br /><br />Call me dull, but I'm pretty happy reading in the Georgian/Regency/Victorian period. What I'd love to see more of is variety of story--lush exotic settings, maybe deeper (but not necessarily darker) stories with secondary mystery or adventure plots. But I'm all about the characterization. I love to see well developed, interesting characters.<br /><br />Congratulations, once again, on your release!Heather Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711640649711338968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-21548238315254123322011-04-08T09:16:14.963-04:002011-04-08T09:16:14.963-04:00This looks like a very interesting book!

I'd love a great historical spy love story. I won't hold my breath though since publishers don't seem to be interested. Maybe we need a great movie to spur the genre back to life.<br /><br />~~AngiAngi Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17568009648101184027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-36343932285289971852011-04-08T01:02:08.024-04:002011-04-08T01:02:08.024-04:00Ooh, I love vengeful dukes.
